I burned wood and coal when I lived in Fbx. The coal had a lot of conveniences and held a fire longer, IMO. I bought a Riteway wood/coal burner with an ash drawer and shaker grate. It's thermostatic and firebrick-lined.

I had the twin to that stove for a while. Still regret trading it off even though I no longer had use for it. Great stoves even if you just burn wood in them. They do not have a built in blower but a heat exchanger in the stove pipe works wonders even in a house that has almost no insulation value.
